Extended and updated by the current owners, the accommodation extends to over 2,000 sq ft, the full extent of which can be seen on the floor plans that follow. Of particular note is the extended, open plan kitchen/dining/family room which is an ideal space for family living; overlooking the garden with French doors opening to the terrace, and a working fireplace. The original kitchen serves as a good-sized utility room with original Rayburn providing the central heating and hot water. The sitting room has a Morso woodburner and is open to the conservatory. There are four bedrooms on the first floor; the master is a lovely double aspect room overlooking the garden and with an en suite shower room with modern suite. Outside A gravelled driveway leads from Streeters Rough to Jollivers and to its neighbour, Reapyears Corner*. Lying off the driveway is a private parking area, providing ample space for several cars. From the driveway a gate opens to the house, and to the detached games room, which has storage over and good potential for conversion (subject to the necessary planning consents). To the south of the house is a further outbuilding, comprising an office, separate workshop and log store. The mature gardens are a particular feature of the property; lying predominately to the west and south west of the house and being well-enclosed by fencing and mature trees and rhododendrons. To the southern corner is a play area, beyond which are several timber storage sheds. A further area of garden lies to the north of the driveway. In all, about 0.93 of an acre. *Agent’s Notes The driveway leading to Reapyear’s Corner is owned by Jollivers, over which Reapyear’s Corner have a right of way.
